Episodes
Bullseye! (1990)
December 17, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 99.2 MB– We’re thieves, not spies. – Thank you, Sidney. There goes our not guilty plea. Weighing in at 18% on Rotten Tomatoes, our latest pinched loaf of pure Rogertainment is Bullseye!, a 1990 comedy starring Roger Moore and Michael Caine as two petty criminals pursuing a nuclear physicist and his patron, played by Michael Caine and Roger Moore. Hilarity ensues, probably. See the film Bullseye! was given a fairly lacklustre DVD release, which you can buy from Amazon in Australia (Amazon AU). ...
The Long Goodbye
November 19, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 66.3 MBMust be Christmas. Everyone wants to give me things. A skeleton flies a plane into a Scottish forest, and in that plane Rodge and Tony find a secret formula that will make all fossil fuels obsolete! Soon people are throwing punches, girls and million-dollar contracts at them both, but with the mystery of the skeletal aviator still unsolved, they have no alternative but to wait for the fabulous Nicola Pagett to sort it all out for them. The Rogertainment continues with Episode 13 of The Pe...
To Kill a Saint
September 03, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 58.7 MB– Will you do it? – Of course. Nobody in the world is better-equipped to get rid of Simon Templar than me. And we’re back at last — a fresh slab of Rogertainment, with a couple of ripper Aussie sheilas along for the ride. When organised crime boss Robert Verrier’s butler is unexpectedly exploded, he becomes convinced that Simon Templar is the killer. Hilarity ensues, of course, and Simon has no choice but to impersonate the assassin to uncover the real culprit. See the episode To Kill a...
Sherlock Holmes in New York
May 22, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 100 MB– Ah, I make it just on half-past three. – Eight, Holmes. – What on earth are you talking about? – Half-past eight, see. – Watson, we are on New York time. – Oh. Oh, well I’ve always found Greenwich time perfectly adequate to me needs. I see no reason for changing it now. This month: New York! With a horribly miscast Roger Moore as Sherlock Holmes and a horribly misjudged John Watson in Patrick Macnee, Sherlock Holmes in New York is the story of a ruddy-cheeked and thoroughgoingly het...
What the Butler Saw
February 27, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 57.1 MB– Actually, I wanted a word or five about the old Groupee, official magazine you know, I’m acting as PRO. – From the HQ? – BHQ. – On TTR? – JJV. seconded from RHB. – Oh really, how’s the GCM? – A-1. – MY? – 50 PPR. – Downgraded to 007, eh? This month, Steed and Mrs Peel are joined by John Le Mesurier, while we are joined again by Steven B, ably assisting us as we investigate various military bigwigs with improbable facial hair, who appear to be leaking valuable secrets to our enem...
The Man from MI.5
January 17, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 63.8 MB– I see. Oh! Are you going to tie me up? – You bet I am. – Well, I don’t mind, really, but may I fix my face before I die? It’s in such a mess. This month, we’re joined by Steven B from New to Who to investigate the theft by some puppets of the blueprints for a new atomic weapon. Inevitably, Lady Penelope gets tied to a bomb or something, and we have mere moments to locate her before she is completely exploded. The sets are lavish, the hardware is impressive and the eyebrow lifts are the...
No Time to Die (roundtable, with spoilers)
December 23, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBCan I just have one nice evening before the world explodes? After a disastrous attempt to record a commentary on No Time to Die results in several cinemagoers calling the police, we decide to regroup, get some drinks in, and hold a roundtable discussion of Daniel Craig’s last film in the role. So: when SPECTRE holds a Christmas drinks thing despite Covid restrictions and everyone ends up feeling quite unwell, James Bond, Felix Leiter and 007 (it’s complicated) team up (sort of) to find the...
Crossplot
October 29, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 96.6 MBIt’s nothing much. It’s only serious. This month, advertising account executive Gary Fenn (Roger Moore) and fiery underwear model Marla Kougash (Claudie Lange) find themselves on the run as they try to foil a violent fascist takeover of Great Britain. Meanwhile Richard (Martha Hyer), James (Dudley Sutton), Brendan (Mark Ruffalo) and Nathan (an extremely rosaceous Sir Bernard Lee) take copious liquid advantage of the recent lifting of Sydney’s lockdown by slurring their way through the long...
The Interrogation
September 05, 2021 00:00 - 56 minutes - 52.5 MB– You’re not the first person to pass through my hands, Stirling. – I never thought I was. – They all broke eventually. – I’ll try and spoil your record. This month, James finds himself drugged, sweaty and trapped in a prison cell with a wastepaper basket and no visible means of escape, while Richard insistently questions him about the identity of the mysterious Renfield or something. Meanwhile, Brendan and Nathan flap about uselessly outside. It sounds like a job for The Champions. Se...
The Wail of the Siren
July 24, 2021 00:00 - 40 minutes - 37.4 MB– I might try singing an antidote note. – Then do it! – Oh, but that’s three octaves above high C! Nobody’s ever done it before! My voice would be gone! I’d rather die! Holy Peripheral Relevance, Batman! This month, the Dynamic — er — Four have pursued patron-saint-of-the-podcast Joan Collins to Gotham City, where she makes a surprising guest appearance in an episode of Batman as the mesmeric Lorelei Circe, whose voice has an uncanny power over heterosexual men. (Fortunately we’re all ve...
Angels of Death
May 29, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 62.8 MB– Do I look like a burglar? – No. You look rather ch— Don’t move, stay where you are, put your hands over your head and lean against the wall. – Nor am I a contortionist. This month, it’s a queasy mixture of the Swinging Sixties and the Punching-People-in-the-Face Seventies, as Steed, Purdey and Gambit try to discover who is encouraging so many sweaty government security personnel to discotheque themselves to death, and why. It’s The New Avengers in Angels of Death. See the episode No ...
License to Steele
May 01, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 62.4 MBThen he’s blessed. I’m forever plucking stray hairs from my comb and brush. Positively demoralizing, but an inescapable part of the human condition. Hmm? Does any of this say anything to you Miss Holt? It does to me. It fairly shouts Remington Steele is an elaborate ruse. He does not exist. You invented him. This week, we answer the eternal question, “Why the hell are we watching this?” with a resounding “Dunno”, as we plumb the depths of Reagan-Era film-noir-lite with the first episode of...
A Room in the Basement
March 20, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 60.3 MB– Oh well, sir, in that case, some of the credit must go to Drake here. I mean the men in the field. — Rubbish, the glamour boys always get all the credit. I hope you don’t mind my saying this, Drake. – On the contrary Mr. Ambassador, it is the man behind the desk who does all the planning, all the real thinking. We just carry out orders. This month, we’re off to Geneva to rescue the handsome Captain Munro from Spearhead from Space, who has been abducted and held captive in the Romanian ...
Read and Destroy
January 22, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 59.7 MB– You wouldn’t trust your mother, would you? – Her least of all. She used to spy for the Egyptians. This month, we resume last year’s abortive Kate O’Marathon with an episode of The Persuaders! from 1972, in which Tony Curtis and Roger Moore join forces to fail to recover a retired spy’s sensational memoirs, while Marla and Melania conceal a dark secret about their husband’s astonishing hairpiece. See the episode I couldn’t find The Persuaders! on streaming in Australia, but a beautiful...
The Avengers (1998)
December 12, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 88.5 MBOh, I discovered then, nothing beats a good lashing. (Mind your head.) Take India. You can have a good ten inches overnight there. You know, one should never fear being wet. This month, we commemorate the death of Sean Connery by revisiting the first nail in the coffin of his movie career, the 1998 film The Avengers, starring Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman as crude robot replicas of John Steed and Mrs Peel, who go up against the wet sporran of Connery’s single most villainous role, Sir Augu...
A Touch of Brimstone
October 31, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 61.3 MB– I’ve come here to appeal to you, Mister Cartney. – You certainly do that! This month, we all don our flattest Regency trousers and head underground for an evening of wrestling, wassailing and wenching to support the admirable cause of bringing down the British Government. And Peter Wyngarde is here too, looking as devilishly handsome as ever. It’s Part 2 of our Diana Rigg marathon: the 1966 Avengers episode A Touch of Brimstone. See the episode Of course, Series 4 of The Avengers is a...
Epic
September 26, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 57.8 MB– You’re not feeling the part, Mrs Peel. – I have a feeling I will be feeling it. This month, we celebrate the life of the late Dame Diana Rigg, who left us earlier this month. And we do this by watching one of the most beloved — and one of the most disliked — episodes of The Avengers. It’s Epic, in which Mrs Peel is kidnapped by three washed-up actors playing two washed-up actors and a washed-up director, who are awful enough to believe that it’s fun to watch Mrs Peel being repeatedly th...
Stay Tuned
September 05, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 64.3 MB– You know the Chinese have a marvellous way of releasing tensions. Better than any tranquilliser. – Hm. – You just hold it, fondle it, stroke it. You’d be surprised how quickly the tensions drain away. This month, our Kate O’Marathon continues with an episode from the final series of The Avengers, in which Steed gets repeatedly punched in the face, while some hot O’Mara-on-Tara action takes place in the next room. See the episode Delightfully, Series 6 of The Avengers is available in ...
To Trap a Rat
August 01, 2020 00:00 - 57 minutes - 52.6 MB– Well, it’s going to be a lovely day. – Why not, it was a lousy night. Where were you? I left a message for you at midnight. – Chasing a bag of peanuts. This month, our Kate O’Marathon commences with a 1968 episode of The Champions, in which Miss O’Mara does some light shoplifting in the hope of scoring some deadly crack for the weekend, and the four of us team up to use our slightly racist superpowers to stop her. See the episode You can watch this for free on Dailymotion, or in Fren...
The Midas Touch
July 12, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 55.3 MB– We shall be gone from here in a few hours. You back to your own country in triumph, me to the foothills of South America. They say there is gold there. – It didn’t do Humphrey Bogart much good. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Most people think Walter Huston directed it. It was John. This month, we head back to the gritty and hardbitten 1970s to check in on one of our favourite Bond girls, Joanna Lumley (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Bond Meets Black Emmanuelle), in the show that ma...
Colonel Rodriguez
May 30, 2020 00:00 - 42 minutes - 39.2 MB– A journalist? I hope you haven’t come to write lies about us. – Well, that’s a difficult question, Colonel, because what is truth to me could be lies to you. This month, our guard of honour continues with an episode of Danger Man from 1960, in which the glorious Honor Blackman stars as the wife of a journalist falsely accused of espionage. Will the eponymous Patrick McGoohan be able to save him from the clutches of the opportunistic Colonel Rodriguez? And, more importantly, can he do it...
The Arrow of God
May 02, 2020 00:00 - 58 minutes - 54 MB– Well, well. The Saint, no less. I know a great deal about you. – I’m flattered. – Don’t be. I follow your exploits with extreme distaste. That article about you in The Times last Sunday was the most nauseating thing I’ve seen in print. – Tried reading your own columns? This month, our tribute to Honor Blackman continues as we revisit the earliest days of Rogertainment with the seventh episode of The Saint — The Arrow of God. A gossip columnist and blackmailer has been murdered, but wh...
The Mauritius Penny
April 11, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 56 MBYou didn’t really think you could take over this country with a few fanatics in fancy dress. This month, we celebrate the life of Honor Blackman, who died this week at the age of 94, by watching one of her early episodes as Cathy Gale in The Avengers. In this episode, The Mauritius Penny, Mr Steed and Mrs Gale team up to defeat a gang of murderous dentists and stamp collectors who plan to overthrow the British government and install a fascist dictatorship decades before that sort of thing ...
The Talented Husband
March 21, 2020 00:00 - 59 minutes - 54.5 MBThank heaven for English theatre bars. We’ve had two acts of this play, complete suffering both onstage, and off. This month, we head back to the earliest days of Rogertainment with the very first episode of The Saint (1961), in which Roger Moore teams up with a future Bond girl, the glittering Shirley Eaton, to thwart a serial wife-killer who will one day control every computer in the galaxy. Or something. It’s all a bit confusing really. See the episode You can catch up with the episod...
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
December 25, 2019 00:00 - 2 hours - 140 MBI don’t trust a man who makes toys in a land where children are forbidden. It’s Christmas, and to celebrate we’re heading back into James Bond territory by watching a film produced by Albert Broccoli, based on a novel by Ian Fleming and a screenplay by Roald Dahl. It’s like You Only Live Twice with a much nicer car, and we love it: it’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. See the film Buy the Blu-ray of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK) (Amazon AU) It’s also available on iTunes and ...
The Girl Who Was Death
December 10, 2019 00:00 - 56 minutes - 52.3 MBI love you madly. I love the way the hair curls on the back of your neck. You’ll make a beautiful corpse. I’m going to do you the honour of letting you die superbly. This month, we’re watching The Prisoner (1967), more specifically its weird antepenultimate episode The Girl Who Was Death. So while Nathan puts the children to bed, James does some ball-tampering, Brendan drives around on the ceiling, and Richard enters a deadly alliance with the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker. ...
Modesty Blaise
November 01, 2019 00:00 - 2 hours - 117 MB– Oh, I’m sorry about the explosion. It doesn’t happen every day. – I don’t come every day. This month, we’re watching the camp 1966 spy-fi classic Modesty Blaise, starring a very attractive Italian lady, Dirk Bogarde and Bernice off Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. There’s diamond smuggling, spycraft and racist comedy Arabs, but it’s mostly all there to get in the way of the lovely location work in Amsterdam and Italy and the upsettingly psychedelic wallpaper. See the film No one seems ...
Five Miles to Midnight
September 14, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 56.6 MB– Where do these guns keep coming from? – I get ’em wholesale. This month, we’re watching The Persuaders! Season 1 Episode 17, Five Miles to Midnight, in which TV’s Roger Moore and sometime lady saxophonist Tony Curtis team up with Joan Collins to smuggle some guy out of Italy, accompanied by a series of excellent jokes written by Terry Nation. And in the process, we answer the age-old question, “What did Tony Curtis call Joan Collins during the production that got her so annoyed?” Over ...
The Ipcress File
August 11, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 106 MB– The Americans have put a tail on Palmer. – Have they? How very tiresome. This month, we head back in time to 1965. While James Bond is in the Bahamas enjoying some painfully slow underwater harpoon fights, Harry Palmer (Michael Caine) is having a much more prosaic time spying for the Ministry of Defence, trying to locate a kidnapped scientist. That is, until the psychedelia kicks in. The Ipcress File was produced by Bond producer Harry Salzman. The score was by our very own John Barry,...
The Girl from Auntie
April 06, 2019 00:00 - 59 minutes - 54.7 MB– Steed! I thought you were an old lady with a bale and knitting needles. – They do say I take after granny. This month, we go back to Richard and Brendan’s first love — 1960s spy-fi classic The Avengers. Brendan has taken up knitting, James is achieving better living through self-help books, Nathan is wondering why Graeme Garden left his computer here, and Richard is relaxing in a leotard and a giant birdcage. Watch out, everyone: it’s The Girl from Auntie. See the show? The Girl from ...
Carry on Spying
January 20, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 127 MB– All ready to get off a slick draw like that. – Oh, Mr. Simpkins, that was wonderful. I’m sure I’ll never get my drawers off as slickly as that. This month, Richard leads a bumbling troupe of trainee Secret Service agents on a mission to retrieve a top-secret chemical formula. But Brendan faints after his first martini, James keeps accidentally giving the formula to enemy agents, and Nathan is altogether too enthusiastic about disguising himself as a dancing girl. Which is why there’s no...
SPECTRE
October 24, 2018 00:00 - 2 hours - 147 MBGoodbye, James Bond. This is our last James Bond commentary podcast for now, as we finally catch up to the end of the series. Tell me is this where we give it all up? Well, probably not, I’m afraid. If you’re a fan of the action/spy genre, you’ll want to keep us in your podcatcher. We’ll be Bondfingering some classic spy films from here on in, and — who knows? — we might find an excuse to do yet another commentary on Casino Royale (1967)? See the film Buy the Blu-ray of SPECTRE. (Amazo...
Skyfall
August 03, 2018 00:00 - 2 hours - 213 MBThough much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. It’s James Bond’s fiftieth anniversary, and so we’re celebrating by introducing him to Q and Moneypenny, casting doubt on his fitness for the job, shooting him in the chest, burning his house down, and killing his Mu...
James Bond Jr
June 17, 2018 00:00 - 31 minutes - 43.1 MBIn 1991, MGM brought to the small screen a 65-episode series called James Bond Jr, in which James Bond’s nephew James teams up with a forgettable bunch of Saturday morning cartoon sidekicks to defend democracy against a forgettable array of Saturday morning cartoon villains. Or some shit. Stop hassling me. In 2017, Brendan, Nathan and James decided that it would be a good idea to watch an episode of that series and discuss it. And that discussion has languished for months in a forgotten cor...
Quantum of Solace
May 10, 2018 00:00 - 2 hours - 110 MBHello. We’re teachers on sabbatical and we’ve just won the lottery. After two years of doing commentaries on various versions of Casino Royale, Brendan, Nathan and James spring back into action with a totally incomprehensible but mercifully short commentary on 2008’s Quantum of Solace. Our writers are on strike, so that’s all the show notes you get. So go and watch the alternative Quantum of Solace theme instead. See the film Buy the Blu-ray of Quantum of Solace. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)...
Casino Royale (2006)
April 14, 2018 00:00 - 2 hours - 204 MB– Vodka martini. – Shaken or stirred? – Do I look like I give a damn? Hello, and welcome back to Bondfinger, the only James Bond commentary podcast consisting entirely of commentaries on various versions of Casino Royale. This month, it’s Daniel Craig’s first outing as Jimmy Bond. Accompanied by sidekick Clarence Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) and love interest Eva Green (Ursula Andress), the American agent must defeat dangerous card shark Die Ziffer (Peter Lorre) in a psychedelic game of old ...
Casino Royale (1954)
April 09, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 83.4 MBGood evening. This doesn’t look dangerous, does it? But it’s killed plenty of men and women. It’s made beggars of many and millionaires of a few, mighty few. We’re finally back, and we’re taking a break from either recording commentaries on the David Niven Casino Royale or simply not podcasting at all, in order to release a commentary on the first ever appearance of James Bond on screen: a live television adaptation of Casino Royale, first broadcast on American television in 1954. See the...
Casino Royale (1967) Redux
January 06, 2018 00:00 - 2 hours - 120 MBIt’s depressing that the words “secret agent” have become synonymous with “sex maniac”. In this Very Special Holiday Episode, we right one of the greatest wrongs in the history of the Bondfinger franchise — Richard’s exclusion from our commentary on Casino Royale (1967), which is a film that Richard knows and loves and a film about which has many hilarious and insightful things to say. So drop a tab of acid (no, no, don’t), throw away your script, wave goodbye to your leading man, and cas...
Die Another Day
December 03, 2017 00:00 - 2 hours - 126 MB— I see you handle your weapon well. — I have been known to keep my tip up. This month, special guest star Todd Beilby joins us as we huddle together for warmth in the melting ice hotel that is Die Another Day. Todd’s brandishing a hell of a rapier, Brendan’s fighting Richard for the microphone, Nathan is completely computer generated, and James is shaking his head in disbelief at Basil Fawlty’s invisible car. Way to kill the franchise, Brosnan! See the film Die Another Day is available...
The World Is Not Enough
November 03, 2017 00:00 - 2 hours - 119 MB– I don’t know. But the world’s greatest terrorist running around with six kilos of weapons-grade plutonium can’t be good. I have to get it back, or somebody’s gonna have my ass. – First things first. After a series of violent and expensive elocution lessons, Robert Carlyle returns to the big screen as the villainous Renard, whose terrifying plans to destroy Istanbul nearly inspire Pierce Brosnan to attempt his first facial expression in his role as Bond. Oh, and Mummy gets tied to a bomb...
Tomorrow Never Dies
July 01, 2017 00:00 - 2 hours - 115 MB– You were pretty good with that hook. – Thanks. It comes from growing up in a rough neighbourhood. You were pretty good with the bike. – Thank you. It comes from not growing up at all. We’re straight on to Pierce’s second film, in which he teams up with Nathan’s cousin-in-law to defeat a villain who is in equal parts Ted Turner, Rupert Murdoch and that guy who played the Master in Doctor Who that one time. It’s like a bunch of previous Bond films rolled in to one violently stirred vodka...
GoldenEye
June 03, 2017 00:00 - 2 hours - 135 MB– Good morning, Mr Bond, sit. I’m Defense Minister Dimitri Mishkin. So, by what means shall we execute you, Commander Bond? – What, no small talk? No chit chat? That’s the trouble with the world today. No one takes the time to do a really sinister interrogation anymore. It’s a lost art. This month, the entire franchise is retooled and the lead has been recast from the menswear department from Grace Brothers, but somehow we all manage to find these facts less compelling than the recent and...
Licence to Kill
May 06, 2017 00:00 - 2 hours - 129 MBWhen it gets up to your ankles, you’re going to beg to tell me everything. When it gets up to your knees, you’ll kiss my ass to kill you. This week, we’re still as dark and edgy as ever, but instead of commenting on a fun and witty espionage thriller, we’re consumed by a thirst for revenge, like so many tiresome action heroes of the 1990s. There’s also some stuff about cocaine mixed with petrol, which comes with so many warnings from the Surgeon General that you can barely fit them on the ...
The Living Daylights
April 01, 2017 00:00 - 2 hours - 306 MBWhy didn’t you learn the violin? We’re back after a two-year break, and somehow we’re darker, sexier, edgier, and a whole lot more Welsh. Brendan’s hot and bothered, James is seeking other podcasting opportunities, and Nathan is weirdly obsessed with the Dalton hair. He’s probably just jealous. See the film The Living Daylights is available for purchase on Blu-ray. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK) You can also get it on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon Instant Video. Follow us! Brendan is on Twi...
A View to a Kill
January 20, 2017 00:00 - 2 hours - 131 MB– Welcome sir, I’m Jenny Flex. – Of course you are. Well, it’s our last ever Rodgecast, and we couldn’t be more upset to see him go. (Although he only appears in this film for about five minutes: in most scenes he is played by one of a team of about three dozen stuntmen.) To console ourselves, we share a few bottles of bubbles, while we discuss flirting grandparents, pranking Roger in bed, the absence of Ken Adam, the worst actors to play Bond villains, the curse of Goldfinger, and the te...
Never Say Never Again
November 05, 2016 00:00 - 2 hours - 199 MB– Good to see you Mr Bond. Things’ve been awfully dull round here. Bureaucrats running the whole place. Everything done by the book. Can’t make a decision unless the computer gives you the go ahead. Now you’re on this. I hope we’re going to have some gratuitous sex and violence! – I certainly hope so too. For legal reasons, this month, Brendan, Nathan, Richard and James have decided to do a remake of Bondfinger Episode 4, with much more exciting lighting and production design and a much l...
Octopussy
October 01, 2016 00:00 - 2 hours - 186 MB– Is he still there? – You must be joking! 007 on an island populated exclusively by women? We won’t see him till dawn! This month, we’re throwing political correctness to the winds, and trying out every conceivable Indian stereotype. Brendan is sleeping on a bed of nails, Nathan is swallowing swords, Richard is charming snakes, and (strangely) James is dressing as Agnetha from the music video of SOS. It’s the second best Bond film of 1983 (or is it?). Welcome to Octopussy. See the film ...
For Your Eyes Only
September 04, 2016 00:00 - 2 hours - 153 MB– Mr. Bond! We can do a deal! I’ll buy you a delicatessen in stainless steel! Please! – Alright, keep your hair on! – Put me down! Put me down! – Oh, you want to get off? This month, Brendan, Nathan, Richard and James decide to rein it all back in — we’re dumping into a chimney the whole idea of taking over the world, and instead we’ll just do a whole lot of skiing, rock-climbing and wrangling over a eighties-era electronic calculators. Oh, and punching Lynn-Holly Johnson in the face. F...
Moonraker
August 06, 2016 00:00 - 2 hours - 149 MBMr Bond, you persist in defying my efforts to provide an amusing death for you. This month, Brendan, Nathan, Richard and James watch the widely reviled 1979 classic Moonraker, and to their absolute delight, they discover that it’s actually really good. Of course, they also criticise some terrible kerning, wince at the series’ most upsetting death, and wonder if Drax’s guards can actually hear anything under all that. Oh, and Brendan sings Joe Cornish’s proposed theme for Quantum of Solace...
The Spy Who Loved Me
July 02, 2016 00:00 - 2 hours - 147 MB– Oh, by the way, thanks for deserting me back there. – Every woman for herself, remember? – Still, you did save my life. – We all make mistakes, Mr. Bond. After a couple of fairly lacklustre films, the James Bond franchise roars back to life in the seminal Bond film of the 1970s: The Spy Who Loved Me. So, among the crude double entendres and Doctor Who references, there’s a lot of admiration here: the frocks, Jaws, Barbara Bach’s fabulous breasts, Bernard Lee’s fabulous nose, and the b...
